Our Take

For four decades, King Crimson's "Beat" has been a staple in any prog-rock enthusiast's collection. Now, with the 40th Anniversary Edition, we can revel in the timeless brilliance of this album all over again.

From the moment the iconic opening riff of "Neal and Jack and Me" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Adrian Belew's experimental guitar work is a force to be reckoned with, weaving in and out of intricate time signatures with effortless precision.

Tracks like "Heartbeat" and "Sartori in Tangier" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend jazz fusion with rock sensibilities, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. And let's not forget the hauntingly beautiful "Two Hands," a track that will linger in your mind long after the last note fades away.

The 40th Anniversary Edition of "Beat" features remastered tracks that breathe new life into this classic album. The crisp production allows each instrument to shine, revealing layers of complexity that may have gone unnoticed before.

Whether you're a die-hard King Crimson fan or a newcomer to their discography, this anniversary edition is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the artistry of progressive rock. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let King Crimson take you on a journey unlike any other. This is an album that truly stands the test of time.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
